Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the planter for planting, first decide if drainage is necessary. If you intend to use the trough outdoors, use a small power drill to create several holes in the bottom to prevent waterlogging. For indoor use, you may prefer to keep it sealed, provided you use an internal liner or practice careful watering. To maintain the finish, simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid using abrasive brushes or chemical cleaners that could degrade the polymer surface. When moving the planter, lift from the base rather than the rim to avoid unnecessary stress on the material.
